A watch above watches... the Suunto Vector.

A watch above watches... the Suunto Vector.

Suunto labels their watches as “wristop computers” and while this description is accurate, I don’t think it captures the how damn nice these watches are. After some research on Suunto watches I decided that the Suunto Vector best suited my needs. I’m in the woods a lot so, knowing the temperature, barometric pressure and fluctuations, altitude and having a compass is not only convenient but often times necessary. Most frequently and on a daily basis I use the compass and the thermometer. I will use bearing tracking when hiking and the barometer to detect weather patterns. The standard time features such as the stopwatch, countdown timer, calendar and three daily alarms all function as expected. Oh, and I love the 24hr time setting.

I received the Vector from my beautiful girlfriend, D.M. (thank you!). Guys, just a note, having a girlfriend that will give gifts of gear is awesome. This watch wears well with many styles of clothing and is very comfortable. The face is easy to read and the control interface is very intuitive. A quick glance at the manual and you’ll be able to use 90% of the features that this watch incorporates.The durability of the Vector (and most Suunto products) is serious. I’ve beaten, dropped, drowned, smacked, smashed, nicked, knocked and generally abused this watch and it is no worse for wear. If I didn’t utilize and love this watch as much as I do, I think I would spend my time trying to figure out just how to make it stop working.

All thing considered, the Suunto Vectoris definitely my favorite “wristop computer” among all of the watches I’ve owned.Suunto Vector
